French Anti-Semitism
Our good frined Janet Levy from Jihad Watch sends us this urgent e mail from a Jewish citizen/friend in France who cites numerous incidents of anti-Semitism in France. We should all do whatever we can to raise public awareness of these intolerant/racist acts of physical violence. You won’t find these stories in elite media. You will find them here.
He writes, “I AM A JEW — therefore I am forwarding this to everyone on all my e-mail lists. I will not sit back and do nothing.” Nowhere have the flames of anti-Semitism burned more furiously than in France:
In Lyon, a car was rammed into a synagogue and set on fire.
In Montpellier, the Jewish religious center was firebombed;
so were synagogues in Strasbourg and Marseilles;
so was a Jewish school in Creteil - all recently
A Jewish sports club in Toulouse was attacked with Moloto v cocktails,
and on the statue of Alfred Dreyfus in Paris, the words “Dirty Jew” were painted.
In Bondy, 15 men beat up members of a Jewish football team with sticks and metal bars.
The bus that takes Jewish children to school in Aubervilliers has been attacked three times in the last 14 months.
According to the Police, metropolitan Paris has seen 10 to 12 anti-Jewish incidents PER DAY in the past 30 days. Wake up, world! Walls in Jewish neighborhoods have been defaced with slogans proclaiming “Jews to the gas chambers” and “Death to the Jews.”
A gunman opened fire on a kosher butcher’s shop (and, of course, the butcher) in Toulouse, France;
a Jewish couple in their 20s were beaten up by five men in Villeurbanne, France. The woman was pregnant
a Jewish school was broken into and vandalized in Sarcelles, France. This was in the past week

Well now you are just thoroughly depressing me. I defend France and its actions on a daily basis, and I hope that the real french citizens get out and stop this in its tracks.
I still believe this is still a very small minority. But the majority needs to stop this minority in its tracks. Once out of the box, open violence against any group (jewish, muslim, homosexuals, whatever) is so hard to reign in. France needs to find these people doing this and make examples of them. Let them rot in jail.
Dear Optomist,
How do you suggest they find them? The police won’t even go into the neighborhoods where the Muslims live.
Dear Gregg,
I hope you don’t mind. I want to copy the e-mail and post it all over the place. This has to be shown. Do you receive the Jewish World News? Here is just one story: The swastika and the skimitar by Johah Goldberg.
I am getting very angry. I don’t care how many ‘nice’ people there are in the world. I have been fighting for three years now to get people to pay attention to Darfur, Sudan! There are several ‘nice’ people in America, but no one is standing up to demand that something be done. Maybe if I go camp out in front of President Bush’s home? Nah, I’m not a nutjob…
Oops. I spelled “scimitar” incorrectly.
Yes the French are Anti Semetic..perhaps the NATIVE TRUE FRENCHMEN do not feel this way but they are so populated by Muslims..they are AFRAID to SPEAK OUT! The simple minded people forget the history of Anti Semitism and how it grew before the second world war. Few Germans defended the attacks on Jews they figured they were all safe if they just let Hitler HATE JEWS..that Ideology really didn’t work..other than the MURDER of Millions of Inferior People..most but not all of whom were JEWS. France and Europe in general declare themselves to be “Great Thinkers”…they may think a lot, But they DO LITTLE TO SOLVE A PROBLEM! In all honesty..they are afraid to CONFRONT PROBLEMS so they THINK ABOUT THEM and hope they will GO AWAY! No wonder they are losing their CULTURE AND ALL THINGS FRENCH..they are AFRAID TO DEFEND those things they hold dear…soon their “Glorious Culture and Language” will be but a “MEMORY”..
Please be informed that am an American Jew who lives in Paris. This is pure drivel. While there have been isolated incidences over the years they have not been of this frequency or scope. This is a bogus report. The French press is quite vigilant. Nothing of this sort has been reported. I can assure you it’s not because of any “secret” suppression of the media. Believe me, it would be huge news. Not one of these incidences has been reported. Do the work and look it up yourselves, instead of taking every stupid email and blog posting you read to be fact. There are many out there who will construct lies to spread their destructive fears in order to justify their paranoia and hatreds. I can’t stress enough that each and every one of you has a responsibility to check facts before you spread this kind of fear and vile misrepresentation of French people, Muslims or otherwise. I live among them and they have their own struggles which don’t express themselves as anti-semitism. If anything, this kind of Jewish paranoia engenders the kind of misunderstanding that impedes peaceful co-existence.
